The binderless catalyst was synthesized using a dry‐gel conversion technique, inwhich 1,6‐hexanediamine and tetrabutylammonium bromide were used as structure‐directingagents and no other alkaline materials were added. The catalytic performance of the zeolites in the direct amination of isobutene to tert‐butylamine was evaluated in a fixed‐bed reactor. By virtue of its high crystallinity as well as its good mechanical strength, the shaped binderless ZSM‐11 catalyst showed a higher rate of formation of tert‐butylamine than did the binder‐containing catalysts.展开更多

In particular, the equilibrium conversion of isobutylene under various reactionconditions close to those used in industry was calculated and discussed. Isobutylene amination is atemperature sensitive reaction due to its exothermic nature and isobutylene equilibrium conversiondecreases with temperature. However, kinetically, the amination reaction will be faster at ahigher temperature. Thus, there must be an optimum temperature for the reaction. A high pressureand n(NH3)/n(i‐C4H8) molar ratio promote the transformation of isobutylene to tert‐butylamine.Developing a highly efficient catalyst under mild reaction conditions is preferred for the aminationprocess. The reaction was investigated over a series of acidic zeolites. ZSM‐11 zeolite exhibited thebest performance with 14.2% isobutylene conversion (52.2% of the equilibrium conversion) and >99.0% tert‐butylamine selectivity. The effect of reaction conditions on the performance of the ZSM‐11 catalyst agreed with the thermodynamic results, which provides guidance for further catalyst development and reaction condition optimization.展开更多
